It's not actually a wax at all. It's a protective polish. I'm not sure where they get the once a year slogan, I'm not sure what the claim is, I mean, most people never once wax their cars. But the actual product, it's nothing special. It doesn't make paint look great, doesn't get rid of swirls, doesn't do much imo.

To be fair, NuFinish is really decent stuff. I used it 20 years ago on my daily beater. It did last an entire season, but after 6 months, water failed to bead.

Consumer Reports magazine has consistently rated it one of the best on the market for "protection", but for looks, I'd choose Zaino.

With that said, as NuFinish is silicone based, I DO NOT use it on my T/A. I have been using Zaino for 10 years+ and have not looked back.

On a daily driver that you want to simply protect the paint and leave a nice shine...NuFinish will not disappoint. It's cheap, goes on/off easy, and will last a long time. If that's what you want - it will suffice.

Zaino is top notch stuff. Nu Finish is for ricers.
